Some things are better done the traditional way
I remember my first cup. The full-bodied taste that lingered long after that first warm sip. Earthy. Wholesome. Smooth, with subtle hints of sweet— I was instantly hooked. It wasn’t long after that I purchased my first matcha powder, and began to experiment trying to recreate that delicious electric green cup I so much enjoyed.
It was then I realized just how much the flavor spectrum can vary from one grade of matcha to the next. But it’s not just the grade of matcha that matters— It’s how you prepare it. The full-bodied green taste of matcha is caused by what are called “polyphenols” in the tea leaf. If you add too much matcha powder these polyphenols are overpowering, and you create a bitter tea. If you add too little matcha powder, your cup may taste empty, and each sip will leave you yearning for more flavor.
Creating the perfect cup
Creating the perfect cup starts with creating the perfect tools. The traditional bamboo tea whisk (chasen) and chashaku have been the tool of choice for creating the perfect frothy matcha for over 1000 years —and I have found this truly is the best way to prepare a cup.
Our process is simple, to create the perfect whisk, you need to start with the best material. Our team hand inspects each bamboo rod for blemishes and integrity. Any piece of bamboo that doesn’t meet our standards is rejected. Only after selecting the best bamboo material does our team begin the production process by hollowing out the bamboo rods, and cutting them down to the perfect length for the tea whisks.
The next step is the most important part in the process. Our specialists hand curl each tine to create the perfect matcha brush. The soft brushing motion of the tines is what gives matcha the perfect consistency, and without this integral step in our process, the tea will not come out the same.

I am a professional barista and have recently made the switch to matcha at home. I was looking for a cheap affordable matcha package to try out (which this is). For $30 it's not a bad deal. My biggest issue with this combo is the bowl. Other customers have complained about the sturdiness of the whisk, but as a pro barista I assure you, all whisks are generally not-durable and need to be handled carefully (and rinsed immediately after use). The whisk itself is too small to fit flush with its holder so I normally rest the whisk about 3/4 down (so as to not put additional pressure on it and break it).Anyway, back to the bowl. When I heat my water and pour it in the bowl it seems fine, like I've made matcha at work 1,000s of times. However, there is no spout or handle on the bowl and the ceramic is not thick enough to create a barrier for the heat and even with my "barista hands" it's hard not to miss pouring it into whatever mug I'm using (effectively wasting some of the matcha). I should not need to put on a glove or oven mitt to handle the bowl. If you are looking for a set this is a great purchase, but if you're wanting something of a little better quality, by a thicker ceramic bowl/mug with a handle or spout so you can pour the matcha without spilling it and/or burning yourself.

I like this! It seems to be just fine for the price! I don't know much about bamboo whisks so I have nothing to compare it to. But I have been enjoying it, and it looks really pretty.

This set is pretty cute. The tools are sturdy and the bowl is really nice. They packaged the items really well and nothing was broken.

I love this little set! I don’t know how I’d make matcha without it. I don’t usually order discounted “used” products on amazon, but I’m very happy that I took a chance on this one. A few dollars off because the original packaging was damaged, and the set itself was in perfect condition. Totally worth it.During this era of crisis and confusion resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the act of making and consuming a bowl of matcha is a much needed comfort. It’s an almost meditative activity. My life is much more pleasant for it. Thanks!

This is my introduction to making matcha and it works fine and the price is fair. So far so good, you get everything you need and it stores compactly.

Nice purchase. Works well for it's purpose, little bamboo "hook" does better job at measuring out tea so I have more cups to enjoy out of a tin, have to stir like crazy to get a good froth but finally got the hang of it.
